About Belgium
In Belgium you will walk through medieval town squares and streets in the midst of a thoroughly modern country. Belgium’s cuisine reflects its varied people and history, influenced by the French, Dutch, Austrians, and Spanish (and don’t forget about the chocolate). Belgium consists of three regions: Flanders in the north, where most people speak Dutch; Wallonia in the south, where most speak French; and Brussels, the bilingual capital located in the center of the country, also home to the European Union and NATO.
